About The morning of the day the lights went out on UF! When you get up each morning at 4:00 am . . . Mother Nature does provide you with some rewards! This is sunrise from the front door of my office as I try to learn all the new bells and whistles of my new Nikon D200.

NO photoshop (except for the frame) . . . in camera crop . . . Conversion by CaptureNX with white balance adjustment.

We had actual rain that day people! Might as well live in the fricken' Arctic circle! LoL!

(70mm; ISO 160; 1/160 sec; f/6.3)

Inspirational, Doyle- I found myself singing "Sunriiiise suuunrise" and then I found out that it was due to your photo*LOL*
What a beautiful impressionistic sky to wake up to, but 04:00? That´s early! Asger wakes up at 05:30 and we think that´s early*LOL*
Oh poooooor soul having some rain...better buy yourself a heavy survival kit for the arctic;-)
Take care

Hi MJ:
LoL! No, not a dream . . . and I'm not sooooo very sure of the "stay up late" part of your comment. Is 9:00 PM late? Sometimes I make it to 9:00 PM!!! :)

LoL! I've heard that from another site too!! Fiddler on the Roof . . . ! Packing the survival kit now . . . If this global warming doesn't knock it off . . . I'm gonna FREEZE!! LoL! Don't want to put a downer on your party, but while you're dancing the night away amidst your melting glaciers . . . we're learning to tolerate the cold and dog-paddle!! :)

Might As Well Live in The friken' Arctic cirle ????????? LoLLLLLLL !!!!!! You are soooo spoiled I just can't let it go un-said...
Ok-- It's over now....

You sure got a great Sun-rise at 4 am Doyle- amazing range of colors but I don't understand how you got the motion effect especially at the top of the sky

Nice shot -
Best Regards,
Michele~


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99839} 4/23/2007
Thanks Michele . . . and . . . well (sguiggles toe in beach side sand) . . . ok, I confess to being spoiled. Marlyce usually tells me the same thing!

I get up at 4 am . . . sunrise (lazy Mother Nature) sleeps in a tad bit more. By sunrise (at about 6:10 am currently) I have done more work than most US Marines do all day. LoL!

The motion you perceive (Ms. Eagle eyes) is there! These were Northern clouds sweeping rapidly down the coast with (gasp) sprinkles!! You could literally watch them moving.

Thanks ever so much for the comment Michele!

Doyle I <~~~~~

Robin Wickenkamp   {K:16383} 5/1/2007
There are only two reasons to be up at 4:00am (zero dark-thirty as I call it)...one, to get to the airport 'cause I'm going on vacation (which is not often enough)...two, fishing (again, not often enough)...no other reason, period. Despite the beauty you have captured Doyle, I still find no reason to be up at that UNGODLY hour...I'll depend on you to show me what sunrise looks like, 'kay?

Gorgeous my friend, simply gorgeous!

Take care...Robin


Tom Horton   {K:1605} 5/1/2007
What a stunner of a sunrise! Lucky you were there at that moment, and didn't let it get away.

Seems like the new D200 could be a keeper!


vanessa shakesheff   {K:62845} 5/4/2007
Wonderful..beautiful colours and tone ..love the striking blue..great silhouettes..nessa 7+++++++++

Carlos Alvarado Jr   {K:279} 5/20/2007
amazing amazing amazing!!! love the shot!!!


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99839} 5/22/2007
Thank you Robin . . . for your narrow, unwavering views on the topic of sunrise! LoL! I like to say I have done more work by sunrise than most US Marines do all day! Well . . . I like to SAY it anyway. On the flip side . . . I head off toward home while some people are off to lunch . . . :)

Thanks for the comment!!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99839} 5/22/2007
Think you're right about that Tom. Still learning . . . but WOW are there a lot of settings (bells and whistles) I can program and play with. This shot is a user programmed Bank 'A' which does a vivid color and other, several other, in-camera settings I programmed on the advice of another photographer for landscapes. One flip turns on all the A settings where I want them . . . then another and they're back off.

Thanks for the comment Tom!

Mary Brown   {K:67818} 6/20/2007
The colours are marvelous. The sense of motion in the clouds makes it look like a time lapse picture.
MAry


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99839} 6/20/2007
Thanks Mary . . . you'd be surprised at how fast those clouds WERE moving . . . it almost felt like I was watching time lapse sky in real time!! :)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~


stingRay .   {K:136763} 7/3/2007
Wonderful effects from those fast moving clouds my friend and the tones are just stunning. Yellow golds, ambers, burnt oranges and rusty browns with little peeks at the blues.....BEAUTIFUL.... I have grabbed this one from the past as you haven't posted recently my dear friend and it comes in handy to comment on something missed whilst I was AWOL Well done to you Doyle. My very best wishes as always to you Marnie and the family........Ray


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99839} 7/5/2007
Thanks my good friend, Ray! I, like you, love to view old stuff once in a while. So much life and less time to shoot lately . . . but the son is safely back from the War . . . and hopefully . . . the rest will be home soon too.

Warm Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~
